I am on a mailing list called "linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu" that
recently has been spammed from your site. It seems that someone has tried
to add that mailing list to several mailinglists that is served by
majordomo@po.CWRU.Edu. First, I don't believe that the linux-kernel should
be on that mailing list, it's enough high traffic as it is, but secondly
and more importantly majordomo@po.CWRU.Edu is sending requests for
confirmation to linux-kernel, thereby spamming quite a lot of people's
mailboxes.
So far I have counted 11 of those requests, and I have included one of
them below for reference.
I was hoping that you, as root of the site running the majordomo, could do
something about it, as it is quite annoying.
Regards,
Stefan Mars
